Galaxy S5 can't scan Bluetooth devices

kxct

Hi,

    SDK15.2

    Softdevice: S132 6.1.0
    Device: NRF52832

    Mobile phone:Galaxy S5  (Android 6.0.1)

   I have a problem with the Galaxy S5 can't scan Bluetooth devices.
   During the test, I found that when the device name is 3 or 4 characters, S5 cannot scan the Bluetooth device. The other device names can be scanned by S5.

   I modified the example ble_app_uart, changed the device name to "1234", and S5 could not scan the Bluetooth device broadcast.

   Scanning a Bluetooth device with the nrf connect app is very strange, please check the attached video. I am sure the Bluetooth device address around me is different.

    Interesting to see that putting the name into the scan response packet fixed the issue. It should not be any risk to do this, but it depends on what criteria the central connects on, since you now moved the UUID to the normal advertising packet. Is the UUID in the advertising packet parsed correctly by the S5 phone?

    S5 can normally parse the UUID of the broadcast packet.Thanks for your support
